LOL!

True story: I used to work for a major Japanese electronics company many years ago. As part of my job they would send prototype equipment to us in the U.S. for testing. One of the amplifiers they sent had a unique feature that when you turned it all the way up the digital display (new back then) went from incremental numbers to "F.U." and then wouldn't go any higher. I'm guessing F.U. doesn't have the same connotation in Japanese... when asking the engineers about "F.U.", they replied it mean "FULL UP". There were jokes based on that one for a long time.
